Timoteuj I 6
1 LADU kan karoj en wauneki melel ar jaumaj akan, pwe mar en Kot o lamalam der lalauela.
Let all who are under the yoke of slavery hold their own masters to be deserving of honour, so that the name of God and the Christian teaching may not be spoken against.
2 A irail me ar jaumaj akan kin pojon ren der mamale kin ir aki ar jaulan, a mak eta ren peiki on irail, pweki ar lelapok o kompokelar. Mepukat padapadakiki o panauiki.
And those who have believing masters should not be wanting in respect towards them because they are their brethren, but should serve them all the more willingly because those who profit by the faithful service rendered are believers and are friends.
3 A ma amen kin wia eu padak toror, o a jota pan dadaurata majan mau en atail Kaun Iejuj Krijtuj o lamalam, me kon on Kot,
So teach and exhort. If any one is a teacher of any other kind of doctrine, and refuses assent to wholesome instructions--those of our Lord Jesus Christ--and the teaching that harmonizes with true godliness,
4 Nan a aklapalap o jota weweki meakot, a jomauki akamai o lokaia jued, me kin kareda peirin, kapei lokaia, lalaue, o karaune mal.
he is puffed up with pride and has no true knowledge, but is crazy over discussions and controversies about words which give rise to envy, quarrelling, revilings, ill-natured suspicions,
5 O jon en akamai en aramaj akan, me kin juedela ni lol arail, re liki jan melel, re kiki on, me pai ren Kot pan kareda kapwa.
and persistent wranglings on the part of people whose intellects are disordered and they themselves blinded to all knowledge of the truth; who imagine that godliness means gain.
6 A pai ren Kot o lolapot, iei me pai kajampwalia.
And godliness is gain, when associated with contentment;
7 Pwe jota, me kitail wa don jappa a janjal, me kitail pil jota pan wawei jan meakot.
for we brought nothing into the world, nor can we carry anything out of it;
8 A ma kan atail kijin mana o at Iikau mia, kitail en injenemauki.
and if we have food and clothing, with these we will be satisfied.
9 A irail, me inon ion kapwapwala, pan lodi on jonejon, o kotauepa kan, o inon jued, o kamatok, me kakirdilan aramaj akan, wajan kamekam o jued.
But people who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many unwise and pernicious ways which sink mankind in destruction and ruin.
10 Pwe limpok on moni me tapin jon jued karoj, me akai inon ion, rap jalonala jan pojon o kare on pein irail kamadak toto.
For from love of money all sorts of evils arise; and some have so hankered after money as to be led astray from the faith and be pierced through with countless sorrows.
11 A koe aramaj en Kot amen, tan wei jan mepukat, a inon ion me pun o pai ren Kot, pojon, limpok, kanonama, opampap en Nen.
But you, O man of God, must flee from these things; and strive for uprightness, godliness, good faith, love, fortitude, and a forgiving temper.
12 Wiada pai mau en pojon, aneki maur joutuk, me koe pil peaker on o kadededa kadede mau o mon jaunkadede toto. (aiōnios g166)
Exert all your strength in the honourable struggle for the faith; lay hold of the Life of the Ages, to which you were called, when you made your noble profession of faith before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
13 I kakaliki on uk mon Kot, me kotin kamaureda meakaroj o mon Krijtuj Iejuj, me kotin kadededa mon Pontiuj Pilatuj kadede mau o.
I charge you--as in the presence of God who gives life to all creatures, and of Christ Jesus who at the bar of Pontius Pilate made a noble profession of faith--
14 Koe en kanikid kujoned, o jo jamin, o jo japun, lao en atail Kaun Iejuj Krijtuj a kotin pwarado,
that you keep God's commandments stainlessly and without reproach till the Appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Me Kaun iajanai pan kajanjaleda ni a anjau, iei Nanmarki en nanmarki kan o Kaun en kaun akan,
For, as its appointed time, this will be brought about by the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
16 Pwe i eta ieiaj joutuk, me kotikot nan marain, me jota meamen kak on, me jota aramaj kilaner, o jo kak kilan, i en waunla manaman joutuk! Amen. (aiōnios g166)
who alone possesses immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, and whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be eternal honour and power! Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Koe en kapun on me kapwapwaki dipijou en jappa et, me re der aklapalap o pil der kaporoporeki kapwa jomelel, a Kot, me kupurai on kitail japan meakan karoj, pwe kitail en paie kida. (aiōn g165)
Impress on those who are rich in the present age that they must not be haughty nor set their hopes on riches--that unstable foundation--but on God who provides us richly with all things for our enjoyment. (aiōn g165)
18 Irail en dadaureta ni arail wiawia mau kan, o ren rokekila dok mau kan, o nek pajan, o japan men jauaja.
They must be beneficent, rich in noble deeds, open-handed and liberal;
19 Wiawia on pein irail pajon mau eu o ki pena on anjau kokodo pwe irail en konodi maur melel.
storing up for themselves that which shall be a solid foundation for the future, that they may lay hold of the Life which is life indeed.
20 O Timoteuj, pereki pai, me panalan re om, ni om liki jan poupou mal kai o padak likam en me aklolekon.
O Timothy, guard the truths entrusted to you, shunning irreligious and frivolous talk, and controversy with what is falsely called 'knowledge';
21 Me akai lodi on ap jalonala jan pojon. Mak o en me re om!
of which some have spoken boastfully in connexion with the true faith, and have erred. Grace be with you all.
